#4735: Windows XP support with new MXE (buildbot) cross-compile
----------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: pastdue | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: unspecified
Component: Build System Issues | Version: git/master
Operating System: All/Non-Specific |
----------------------------------------+-------------------------
It looks like QT > 5.6.x won't work with Windows XP (although 5.7.x can be
custom-compiled to do so). Hence, currently, buildbot Windows builds won't
work with Windows XP.
(They error with: "This application has failed to start because dwmapi.dll
was not found...")
To maintain the ability to run the MXE (cross-compiled) builds on Windows
XP, current MXE can be built with an older ("fixed") version of QT5.
A sample MXE plug-in is provided to help with this process:

fixed in the latest MXE):
